Groovius or Getting My Groove on in Sirius

The Birth of Groovius

I had a conversation recently with my good friend and co-conspirator, Bryon Beck (better know as @bbryon on Twitter). We both agreed that Grooveshark is a way cool service for tracking down, organizing and sharing music online. We also both agreed that Sirius radio is a great way to listen to a variety of cool music in your car.

So, in classic Reese’s peanut butter cup style, why not just mash the two together? Essentially, what I would love to see is a Sirius frequency dedicated for my Grooveshark playlists. Then, I could jump in my car, fire up the radio and continue listening to the songs I had going online.

Perhaps I could tell Grooveshark which playlist I wanted to sync with Sirius? Maybe it could even be someone else’s playlist (assuming they’d opened the playlist up for public consumption)?

Just something Bryon and I had been noodling over. Tell me what you think below.

Only the Finest Flogging for My Friends

I’ve seen this band live three times. Each time more amazing than the last. An eclectic mix of traditional Irish folk music and ass-kickin’ American punk rock, Flogging Molly is an incredible experience. I hope you enjoy this small sample of some of my favorites from Dave King and crew.

  • Which bands have you seen live and thought, “Shit, I’d rather just listen to the CD.”?
